DEFINITELY OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE

Women grappling with fantasies of becoming pro wrestlers brought
their toughest headlocks and flashiest full-nelsons to a Toronto studio
yesterday.

Dozens turned out as the Ultimate Women's Wrestling league held its first
auditions. The group will stage pay-per-view matches that could earn
performers $300 to $500 (possibly $1,000) per match and potentially a share of
revenue from the sale of calendars and T-shirts.

At 5-foot-4 and 110 pounds with shoulder-length, brown hair, Lesley Wood,
in her last year of commerce at McMaster University, does not look like your
typical wrestler.

"It's a new experience, even the audition itself. If I don't get it, that's
fine," the 23-year-old said.
